 Hey everyone, Shaber 1000 here. Today I've got another flea market find, I guess you could call it, it was from a Thrift Store, Thrift Store find, whatever, but it'll go under one of them playlists. Yup, there we go. So let's open this up and let's check it out. Okay guys, so like I said, when I was telling you about the table, we went to our buddy's Thrift Store, just right up the road here, about a quarter mile, half a mile, was walking down, I went down this one aisle where he's got like the stereos and the speakers and computers, stuff like that. And I came out, went down another aisle, was talking to Monkey, and then she went down the aisle, I just came out of him for some reason, I had walked past us and it caught my, because it was open, but of course, you guys know what's in there. So, I don't know what that's for. There's nothing in these zipper pockets. It does not have a battery with it, but it does have one of those things you plug in where the battery goes. This is one of those deals. If you go overseas or whatever, it's a plug adapter. So there's this guy, it does have one of those. Also, in this side it has, I mean, a bag, I gave 10 bucks for it. He said, you know, what's it worth? I said, you know, I collect them, I said, it's worth 10 bucks. You know, because I figured a bag's worth that. He said, now you know, I don't know if it works. I'm like, I don't care. And I don't, I really don't. It's because it's one that I don't have. If it was one that I've already got, I probably would have passed on it, maybe. But I like to get the ones I don't have. VHSC, it's the TC30, 62M. So it's got brand new tape here. So a bunch of new tapes, get this out. There's another brand new tape in here. This is the thing I'll have to use to and place the battery. I don't think I got a battery like this one, but, and then you plug this into, I do have the piece that this plugs into and that you plug into the wall. So it's the JVC Compact VHS Intelligent Function Control Program AE. 14 times hyper zoom, quick response AF. That quick response is fuck or what? Anyway, so what's the number on it? YU30835-4, it's a, so it would be a JVC, it's a, so it would be a JVC, it's the VHSC GR-AX655. Now, like I said, I don't know if it works, I don't know anything about it, but we're gonna, if it does, we're gonna try it out. There's where you put your stuff into, audio and what's that thing for? Oh, that was probably for that at one time, but at least it's still here. So, we're gonna leave it, we're gonna turn it off. It's got an edit button. What that was for was it would have a remote that you actually, a cable that you would plug in, you held the remote. So, that. Lens cover, right here on the side. How's this open? And that opens up, there's some controls here, there's your zoom, color viewfinder, which is, which was really high class when this came out, because most of them, you know, when you look through the viewfinder, they were black and white. So, there's your eyepiece, there's eject, so it's got a light on it. There's a remote thing, too. You could get a remote, IR remote for it, too, as well. This is your little, your selection for what? Like, you know, there's for sports and when it gets darker and all that stuff, so. It did, this one don't have a book, so I'll have to go online, it does have a timer. I'll have to go online and check it out. But what we're gonna do, is we're gonna plug it in, I'm gonna check it out, I'm gonna go get my plug-in thing. There's your switch for your light, it's got auto and on, so. All right, let me go get my thing, let's get this plugged in, we'll see if it works. I don't think there's a tape in it. I like finding more tapes in it, because I like to see what's on. We found that one, remember, has had all them pictures and the last one had all them videos on it. Of the kid, I'm not sure what this is or this is. And this is lock release, auto mode, so I would say it would probably go there. All right, so let me go get my thing, we'll get this plugged in, maybe I'll look it up real quick off camera for you, tell you a little bit more about it, but we're gonna do that and I'll be right back with you, hang tight. Okay guys, so I found my power bank, it's pretty cool this slides in and out. So for storage, okay, if I have it plugged in, let's turn this camera on and it did light up and I heard it go zing, okay. Let's see, light works, so that's cool. Now let's try to eject this and see if there's a tape in here. Okay, no tape. All right, now I have a tape, but let's use one of these. And first, let's close this and see see if it's doing anything in here. And I see stuff, very blurry, let me try to adjust this here. There we go. Cool, all right, it's telling me there's no tape, I don't know if you guys can see in there, but. Okay, so now let's, all right, I'm gonna put a tape in here and then I'll kick you back on and we'll try to film something and then we'll see what it looks like after it's filmed. Okay guys, so I've got, I found the date just right here on the bottom, manufactured May of 1996. As you can see, there's no screen to look through. So you have, I mean, that was a hard selfie back in the day, right? I mean, you see, you have to look through the viewfinder. So I got a tape opened up here, it's a brand new tape. I'm gonna put this in. I wanna close this by pushing that button there. All right, so let's read in the tape. Okay, so what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna film some stuff here and then the next clip you see will be a clip of what is being filmed with this and I'll try different, try to change this to different stuff. There's a self timer, oh yeah, cool. Sports, awesome. All right, so let me do that. Let me do some filming here. Let's see how it looks and then I'll be back with you. Now I'm recording. Check, check, one, two, we've got 26 minutes on this tape. Monkey, monkey, don't hurt a little thing over there. So I'm gonna change some of the dials here. There's timer, there's twilight. Okay, that's cool for when slow light, that made it better on twilight in here. Now I have not messed with any of the, so I don't know if it's got, okay, there's no effect right there. So I don't know if it has intelligent function control, but I don't know what all this thing does. You know, menu-wise and all that, like anti-shake or anti-vibration or whatever, but there's monkey walking past again. Doing her little thing. I'm ready for the Christmas tree. Okay, so I'm gonna end this clip right here. It said, well, it's about two minutes. So anyway, well, real quick, if I can get you over here without knocking a bunch of stuff off, see what it looks like out here, see what the zoom is like, just, you know, it's got a focus, but I don't know how to focus it. So I don't know, see right there, it's real blurry, but I don't know if it's got an autofocus. F1 says focus, so let's try F1, see what happens. That's fader, it changed on me. Oh, okay, it's doing something there. There's focus, doesn't seem to be, like I said, I've got online here, I did find, I did find an owner's menu on it online. So I have to look that up and really, we'll revisit this camera. Because I think I may have a battery to fit in, I'm not sure. I've got a bunch of batteries for these things. Okay, so all right, there's the end of this clip. Okay guys, so there you have it. The GR AX655 from 1996, May of 1996. This thing is in very good condition, everything works. We are gonna do a revisit on this because I do have the manual right here on my phone for so we can really get some good footage. The only thing I did through editing was stretched it to 16.9 from 4.3 other than that. What you see is what this camera does. I'm sure it'd be better. It's got a fader and focus and stuff all up here. You change all that, I'm not sure how to do that on this one. So that's why we're gonna do a revisit, but there's not a scratch on it. You can still buy batteries and chargers and everything for this, I looked it up. I don't know what they cost when they were new. The closest one I found to this was $700 back in 1996. It was very similar, but it didn't have as much, like the color viewfinder, it was black and white. So this was really top of the line back in 96, but it didn't, like I said, it does not have a flip out screen. So anyway, there you guys go, right there. 10 bucks. I think the bag was probably well worth that. So anyway guys, thanks for watching, I appreciate it. The only thing I found was where this was supposed to be connected right here to this little piece. It's the only thing I found that's wrong with the whole camera. All the functions do work. Like I said, I'm just not sure how to work them. So we are gonna do a revisit on this and these handles always, they'll start peeling off and stuff like that, so very good condition. All right guys, thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next one. Y'all take care, bye-bye.
